The Vaughn-Thomas Borum Foundation was inspired by the life and struggles of our vibrant, healthy 17-year-old son who was a victim of fentanyl poisoning.

“Early intervention could have made a difference. And while I can’t do anything to save Vaughn-Thomas now, maybe he can save someone else. This is not just my desire; it is also Vaughn-Thomas.”

After Kathy Borum lost her son Vaughn-Thomas to fentanyl poisoning last December, she committed herself to finding a way to salvage some good from the tragedy.

Working with Catholic Charities, Diocese of Nashville, Borum has established the Vaughn-Thomas Borum Teen Counseling Fund to help families access much needed counseling for their teen children regardless of their ability to pay so they don’t become another casualty in the ever-growing fentanyl crisis.
